Mendocino Wine Country

Despite its popularity, Mendocino has never been in danger of losing its bucolic charm. With a population of less than 1,000 people, this quaint hamlet manages to maintain a thriving arts community, hosts some spectacular eateries, and invites visitors to travel back in time, to a slow-paced, easier way of life.

TOP TIPS FOR MENDOCINO

Shopping on Main Street is a must, and Mendocino Jam & Preserves shop is a favorite.

The historic Point Cabrillo Light Station, just north of town, is a lovely spot for a picnic.

It goes without saying that the coast is beautiful, but a stroll at sunset is literally worth the trip, all by itself.

When to Go

Bring the windbreaker: Mendocino’s elevated position above the surf means that it gets breezy, and a little chilly, especially at night. Bundle up in the winter months.

Take in the beautiful northern California coast at this stunning inn set on 10 acres, overlooking the bay. There are many amenities and classes, plenty of delicious food, and each romantic room has a cozy fireplace.
